Chapter 707 The coalition forces are about to withdraw
The pit is too deep to climb out of.
The archers ignored the fallen enemies and only shot at those who rushed up from the city gate.
Seeing that the city gate was crowded with people and it was difficult to move even an inch, Qin Huaidao's lips curled up with a hint of coldness and he glanced at the guards around him. Everyone picked up the grenades and threw them towards them knowingly.
"Boom boom boom!"
Terrifying explosions sounded, fire flashed, and gunpowder smoke filled the air.
After the explosion, the city gate hole was emptied, but it was quickly filled again by people rushing up from behind.
This scene made the Hanzhou Army excited and their morale soared - where was the enemy attacking and seizing the city gate? They were clearly rushing to die!
The battle turned into a one-sided massacre!
When the enemy saw that the people in the pit were not shot and could survive, they gritted their teeth and simply jumped down and pretended to be dead.
When one person jumps, more people follow suit.
Soon, the big pit was overcrowded and people piled up together. The people below were so pressed that they couldn't breathe and were suffocating to death. However, the enemy troops had no way to retreat and continued to jump in.
Seeing that the big hole was about to be filled, the enemy would be able to rush in by stepping on the bodies of his companions, but Qin Huaidao was not satisfied yet and decisively ordered the archers to retreat ten meters to expand the defensive circle.
When the distance is widened, it will take time for the enemy to rush up. The archers can shoot more arrows, which can also kill the enemy. The defensive circle is larger and there are more people inside.
The battle is still a one-sided massacre!
The soldiers only need to draw the bow, release the arrow, draw the bow again, release the arrow again, and when tired, quickly retreat to recover their strength, and the second row of archers will take over, ensuring continuous output, simple and crude.
Thousands of archers were like a meticulous killing machine at this moment. The big pit was filled, and the ground was covered with a thick layer. The surroundings were stained with blood. The blood and water gathered together, flowing like a gurgling stream, under the light of torches.
It's particularly evil and strange below.
…
Outside the city, in front of the coalition camp.
The Turkic Khan looked at the dense crowds of his own people at the city gate, and knew that things were not going well on the other side of the city gate. A rough estimate was that at least several thousand people were gone. Is it really possible to continue fighting like this?
Also, what kind of explosive weapon is it?
The sense of luck gradually loosened, disintegrated, and dissipated.
Glancing at Lun Qinling, who was issuing orders not far away, the Turkic Khan quietly walked away for a distance and whispered to the few confidant generals following him: "It won't work like this, people will die, and no one will survive in the end. Send the order."
Go down, the camp is quietly preparing to evacuate, and you have to move quickly." He said and looked at a general.
The other party nodded knowingly and left quickly.
"Recall the attacking troops. No more fighting." Khan looked at the other general.
The other party had long since stopped fighting. He was overjoyed when he heard the order and ran away quickly.
Another confidant general glanced at Lun Qinling and said in a low voice: "Han, as long as we retreat first, even if the Hanzhou army pursues and kills them, they will only attack Tubo. Tubo will surrender and rebel again, and its hatred for the Han king will be even deeper. Let's go north."
Withdraw, as long as we don't take the Longyou Road, the King of Han will not pursue us."
"It makes sense." The Khan's eyes lit up and he whispered: "Take your rear to prevent the Tibetans from chasing them, and find ways to destroy their food and grass. Without the food and grass, the Tibetans cannot run fast, and you can help us hold back the Hanzhou army.
"
"My great Khan is wise!" The other party saluted solemnly and hurried away.
"Little fox, you just plotted against me? Humph!" Khan muttered to himself, with murderous intent bursting out of his eyes.
Soon, the Turkic attacking troops withdrew.
Lun Qinling immediately realized that something was wrong. Without the help of the Turks, he could not believe the consequences. He had to tie the Turks to his chariot. He hurried over and asked the Khan: "Great Khan, why did your army stop attacking?"
The Khan pretended to be angry and said: "We have been fighting for a day with no hope, and the soldiers are complaining. I am going to kill cattle and sheep to reward the three armies and boost their morale before fighting again. In one hour at most, I will kill countless Turkic warriors. This enemy is
How can Khan stop?"
He was not stupid about Qinling. He realized that there was a deceit in it and couldn't help but look at the Turkic camp. However, it was dark and he couldn't see the situation clearly, so he continued: "What the Khan said makes sense. The soldiers are indeed tired. It's good to take a rest."
, but not for too long. We are tired, and the Hanzhou army is even more tired. As time goes by, it will be detrimental to our army."
"Don't worry, I won't give the Hanzhou Army too much time to rest and recuperate for at most an hour." Khan agreed.
Speaking of this, Qin Ling could not object. After saying a few words, he hurried back to his camp, summoned all his confidants and generals, and solemnly said: "Everyone, I'm afraid the Turks want to run away."
"What? These bastards are really unreliable."
"When are you going to run?"
"What should we do?"
Lun Qinling raised his hand to signal everyone to stop making noise, and after pondering for a moment, he ordered: "Send an order to the army to inform the attack, and make pots and cook rice overnight to restore physical strength. In addition, we need to prevent the Turks from being detrimental to our army before they leave. The Turks are most likely to sneak attack on our army."
I leave the food and grass to you." He said and looked at someone.
The other party nodded solemnly and said: "Don't worry, Second Prince, I'll keep it safe and you won't get it back."
"Set an ambush, kill the sneak attack troops, and slow down their evacuation. Then we can escape smoothly. With the Turks at our rear, the Hanzhou Army will not choose to pursue our army. Therefore, your side is very important, and we can ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Otherwise, military law will be engaged." Lun Qinling warned.
"Follow the order!" the other party responded solemnly.
"What about the army?" Someone hesitated to speak.
Lun Qinling looked at each other and said: "Go south, go to Fengzhou, climb over the Qinling Mountains, and go around Songzhou to return to Tubo. Everyone, our army... was defeated in this expedition!"
The word "lost" seems to have drained Lun Qinling's energy and energy, and he looked depressed and stopped talking.
Everyone felt sad, but they remained silent.
…
Qinzhou City.
Qin Huaidao was a little surprised when he saw the enemy troops fleeing. They actually withdrew?
"King Han, the enemy army fought hard all day, like a madman, regardless of the cost. Why did they withdraw? There couldn't be any fraud, right?" Fang Yiai also said with a face full of shock.
"There must be a scam!" Luo Wu agreed from the side.
"I also think it's weird, too abnormal. Could it be that too many people have died and I can't bear it anymore, so I want to escape? After all, without enough soldiers and horses in hand, the court will take action, which can not only silence the people, but also establish their authority."
Luo Ying also said.
Everyone agreed and nodded.
Seeing that everyone was thinking about going together, Qin Huaidao asked: "Tell me, how should our army respond?"
"If you ask me, fill in the big hole, have a good meal, and rush out of the city after dawn. Not to mention killing all the enemy troops, anyway, I have to twist off the head of the little thief in Qinling and grab some trophies. It's best.
We found evidence that the imperial court collaborated with the enemy." Fang Yiai said angrily.
"Yes, the evidence is crucial. You hunt the Tibetans, and I will hunt the Turks. We will act separately. The special operations force is small, so we can ask Luo Zhang to come over and help." Luo Ying also agreed.
Luo Wu knew that his duty was to protect Qin Huaidao, and looked at the two of them with envy.
At this time, An Guogong also came and asked eagerly: "I heard that the enemy troops have withdrawn?"
An Guogong guarded the west gate and the south gate, and there was no fighting.
Qin Huaidao analyzed the situation and finally added: "What about Anguo's general will?"
"Chase, must pursue. It is best to capture one of Lun Qinling or the Turkic Khan alive. Then the prestige of our Hanzhou Army will be established. We can defeat the two countries' armies by ourselves. This reputation and these military exploits will surely become famous."
It would be better for the world to take back the materials they captured."
Everyone unanimously agreed to pursue him and looked at Qin Huaidao with enthusiastic eyes.
Qin Huaidao pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Can't chase?"
"Ah... why?" Everyone said almost in unison.
Qin Huaidao looked in the direction of Chang'an, his eyes were deep and heavy, and he said slowly: "The Turks will be worried about being pursued by our army, so they will not dare to go to Longyou and can only go north. There is a warrior named Yu with a large army stationed in the north. If he doesn't take action,
It will definitely arouse public outrage, and all the Turks should be left to the warriors Xun to gnaw on."
"What about the Turks? Let me lead my troops to chase them." Fang Yiai said eagerly.
"No, don't pursue the poor bandits. If you pursue them in a hurry, they will use the people as cannon fodder. It is not advisable to let them run away first and return to Tubo with the news of defeat. Tubo will inevitably be in chaos, which will be more beneficial to our army. Let's talk to the court later.
Let's kill it again. Wouldn't it be more fun to kill Tibet and reach the Turks when the time comes?"
"That makes sense!"
"Wonderful!"
Everyone's eyes lit up, it didn't matter when they hit others, just hit them.
Luo Wu reacted quickly and asked: "Uncle, what do you mean...get some benefits?"
"That's right, we came all the way to King Qin, how can we come back empty-handed? The expenses along the way, military pay, battle damage and pensions must be reported to the court, right? If not, then we have to have a good chat with the court, and the princess has to take her back.
No?" Qin Huaidao said, with murderous intent surging in his eyes.
Although there is no evidence that Li Zhi was doing some tricks behind his back, the blame must be laid.
We also need to find out whether Li Er has lost his mind and gone crazy.
